I guess if Winnipeg really like Kadri then a deal with the Leafs is possible.
Is Kadri, a 2nd, & a prospect enough though?
I'd say we could come up with a better package than that
Good point though. If the Leafs really think he's a guy they can build around, they might go all in for him. They prob need to make a big move like this too

I would barely trade Kadri for E.Kane. Kadri has finally developed a 200 foot game. Kane has huge character problems and injury problems. Kane won't fetch much.

Also why I think we'd have to give them an almost nhl ready prospect like Grigorenko
- jdfitz77

Not worth it for him IMO

I just want a top 5 pick. Which it looks like that's what we are going to get. A team has to be lucky to get Mcdavid. Even for you guys if you get last place it's only 20 percent chance you get Mcdavid. So it's a dream to get him for anybody. Echiel looks pretty good too.

I think Eichel softens the disappointment if we miss out on McDavid
Eichel would go 1st in most drafts. I'll be happy with either.
This draft is nice. I think u guys will def get someone really good if u pick in the top7

The whole top 5 or 6 would of went first last year.

Fair enough.
I can def understand why some wouldn't risk it

You guys will probably get Echiel. Looking at the facts. 20 percent odds aren't great. They are the best no doubt but odds are you will get Echiel. Which is just as good in my opinion. Mcdavid has more flash and Echiel has more power.

23 scouts here tonight

It's that time of year... 23 scouts scheduled to be in attendance tonight. At least those who wanted a seat upstairs.

Idk about that. Ekblad prob goes 3rd if he's in this draft.
Is there a guy in particular you're hoping for?
Strome would be a nice for if he falls to u guys

No one in Buffalo will be upset if we get Eichel.
He might actually be a better guy in the playoffs BC of his style of play

- jdfitz77

I still don't understand why you want him so badly. Reading your posts it seems that way. The Sabres would be wise to stay away. He won't be a Tyler Seguin type of pick up where he goes from rags to riches stat wise. Better off going for Kessel or Hall IMO. At least we know they have game.

Mcdavid, Echiel, Hanafin and Strome over anyone in the last draft. Marner would of been a no doubt 2nd.

That sure showed when he was in a playoff atmosphere during the world juniors...

I do want him
I think he has great upside & will be a 30+ goal scorer on McDavid's wing.
He'll also cost MUCH less than Hall or Kessel

- JVR_42_PK81

Strome over Reinhart and Ekblad? Ya right... Strome showed he can't perform without McDavid. I'd take Marner over him... Lawson Crouse I wouldn't at all take in the top 5.

The whole US team disappointed
Eichel plays more physical, and we all know how the playoffs get tougher

- Jammerz04

You do realize that Strome plays on a completely different line...and when Mcdavid was injured he played just as good as with Mcavid on the team. There should be no doubt Strome>Rienhart. And Strome>Ekblad depending on what your team need is. The non homer Buffalo fans will agree about Rienhart...hopefully

Ifk about that, but they're all right there.
The next group with Kylington & Provorov looks good too. And then you've got guys like Zacha, Barzal & Konecny dropping to the teens.
If love if the Dabres could move up to about 15. I think we'll grab another really nice talent

I don't think it's as clear cut as u do
I'd say Ekblad would go 3rd in this draft, and then it's a toss up for the next 5 or so picks with Reinhart in that group. I could see him go anywhere from 4th-8th

the Buffalo in me is rooting for us to get Eichel so that I'll be super stoked if we get McDavid.

maro satan part 2 if we get Kane
- gerbe75pts

Satan was the lone bright spot for a few years.

01-02

Miro 73pts next closest was Stu Barnes at 48

02-03

Miro 75 pts next closest was Gratton at 44 pts and he was traded


Put Kane with McEichel and Reinhart and he'll be fine.

IMO he's shown signs of growing up.
He'd be the perfect winger for McDavid, IF his head is on straight.
I think it's worth the risk

He will never grow up look at his twitter he will just post more money
All he cares about is himself that's it we don't need players like that
- gerbe75pts

And the other Kane got into fights with cab drivers, gets drunk and takes shirtless pictures with um classy women...then he matures

He needs a life coach like Kane has with Chicago. T-Pegs pays someone to follow him around and make sure he is on time, not getting into trouble and properly dressed.

The kid is playing through injuries to be in the lineup.

Yes there are risks but if you can get a young power forward scoring winger without having to give up Myers you jump at the chance. IMO opinion of course but this is a move you should make if you are TM

I look at it in the lights of whomever plays with McDavid or Eichel will have a great season much like the wingers that are put with Crosby. They over produce because the focus is taken away from them.

I loved Satan when he was here, so I'm taking Kane as Satan 2.0 as a compliment.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Murray say he likes Kane?
